key stuck won't start shifts without brake please help Options

ok , i just bought a 94 celica. it's an automatic gt. i drove it a few times and it started with no problem. but the other night when i got to my gf's house and tried to start it again it wouldn't budge. at first i thought it was either the shift lock, ignition, neutral safety switch, fuse, or starter.it so far has been neither. i changed the entire shifter assembly and plugs.nothing. now the car wont let me have my key back unless i remove a terminal from the battery. and when i try to start it the clock goes dim but it wont start. I also ran a jumper from the 12v positive on the battery to the starter and it will crank but not run. and yes i had the key in the on position. does anyone have a clue what might be going on? i also checked the trans. fluid level and its fine.

i would have lost it because it was not yet registered to me and there was no license plate on it. and if the code enforcement would have seen that, they would give me a week before they towed it away.
